How does the legislative branch hinder the realization of democracy historically and currently?

Well, historically and currently the legislative branch created difficulties for democracy because:
Every 30,000 people in a state = 1 representative who elects the president, as i explained in your last question. So the problem is, the states with bigger population basically have all the power and control the election, pretty much. This is still a problem today (it’s also why the senate was created, so each state gets 2 senators = 2 votes).
Historically, states that had a bunch of slaves would count their slaves as a person just so they could get extra representatives. This is why the Great Compromise was made, so 3/5s of the slave population counted as a person.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
